Porsche 718 Boxster T & Porsche 718 Cayman T
The "718 Boxster T" and "718 Cayman T" announced at the end of 2018 and world premiered at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2019.
What is Porsche's "T"? "Touring"
In the so-called 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman's "T series", T means "touring".
The "911 T" announced in 1968 was the beginning of this T series, and to put it simply, a model that emphasizes weight reduction (= a model that pursues further driving pleasure by reducing weight). ..
It was possible to order these two units already in the United States etc., and the configurator was also available ~ ^ ^
Porsche 718 T Model Configurator (US Site)
The US configurator for each 718 Model T can be found at the links below. It seems that there is no price display on the configurator yet (as of November 9, 2019).
Price of 718 Boxster T and 718 Cayman T
Although there is no price display on the Porsche official website and the configurator yet, the price of 718 Boxster T and 718 Cayman T was announced in the American media.
The 718 Boxster T and 718 Cayman T will begin to reach the United States around the summer of 2020, and the price is:
- 718 Boxster T starts from $ 69,850 (about 7.63 million yen)
- 718 Cayman T starts from $ 67,750 (about 7.4 million yen)
* Both prices do not include options.
* Since there is no price notation on the Porsche official website or configurator yet, there may be a slight error (hundreds of dollars) in these prices even in overseas media, so in reality there is an error of several hundred dollars. There may be. The dollar rate is converted at the exchange rate on November 9, 2019.
Porsche 718 series T model specs
The Porsche 718 T model is the same 2-liter horizontally opposed 4-cylinder engine as the 718 base model, with a maximum output of 300 horsepower / 7,500 rpm.
The maximum torque is 38.8kg / 2,150rpm.
0-100km is 4.7 seconds (7-speed PDK) or 5.1 seconds (6-speed manual).
The maximum speed is 275km.
In this 718 series T model, in addition to weight reduction such as changing the door lever to a strap, there is an option not to install the infotainment system of the center console (* Because the regulation of the backup camera is obligatory in US, so This option is not available), and PASM sports suspension (20mm down) and sports chrono package that lower the vehicle height are also standard equipment.
Graphics are attached to the body side, and 20-inch wheels are standard equipment.
I'm looking forward to the day when I can meet the actual car.
